Karma Korvette
I heard that Bob Lutz is converting Fisker Karmas over to use Corvette engines. Would anyone want a Korvette???

$200,000 a copy or $100,000 for the conversion if you already own a Fisker Karma. In any language I say, NO THANKS !

I'd rather just have the Fisker. It was a damn cool car, even Top Gear liked it (and they ripped Musk's baby a new one).

The ideal solution would be the Tesla tech with Karma looks.

Karma went out of business didn't they. So I am not sure how they could kick Musk's butt. Not to mentioned the stock for his company just quadrupled.

How could they not be making any money? They paid off their loan way early. And with that bill gone, where is the money that was going to it being spent?
I could see them sinking in a lot of money into their charging stations. But that could be considered a startup cost as once they are built, more people would be likely to buy since they can travel the US. They also announced the ~30K car that is suppose to come out in 2 years.
I wouldn't short your stock yet. It may go down some, but I don't think Tesla is going under.
